Can computers dig bitcoin
You can't dig in a day. It takes 2000 years
the global unified computing difficulty of bitcoin is 2621404453 (expected to change in two days). It takes more than 2000 years for a 2.5GHz CPU to work out a bitcoin
in order to make the graphics card fully loaded for a long time, the power consumption will be quite high, and the electricity bill will be higher and higher. Many professional mines at home and abroad are operated in areas with extremely low electricity charges, such as hydropower stations, while more users can only mine at home or in ordinary mines, so the electricity charges are not cheap. Even in a certain residential area in Yunnan, there was a case of crazy mining, which led to a large area trip of the residential area, and the transformer was burned
extended data:
bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system
bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network can get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes. Then bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as block reward to reward the person who gets the answer
when bitcoin was born in 2009, block rewards were 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25
when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million
one dollar equals 6.14
in other words, 1 bitcoin is equivalent to 828.9 yuan
and according to the latest news, bitcoin has been stolen, so the price will be lower.
1. The calculation is mainly done by GPU, while the GPU of ordinary computers is not very powerful, which directly leads to low mining efficiency, and even the electricity bill can not be recovered
2. Because it is used to exchange data on the network, not only the performance of the computer should be good enough, but also the network bandwidth and quality should be higher. If you are asked to build a telecom 100 MB broadband before, I wonder if you are still so interested
3. GPU will generate a lot of heat ring calculation. If it is not handled properly or the original radiator is very dirty, it may burn the GPU or computer, and the gain will not be worth the loss
4. The other is the impact of the environment. Let's not say where bitcoin is going to go, let's say that the current exchange rate is seriously declining and there is no money to make before. Professional mines are even processing equipment. It's obviously unreasonable to go mining at this time
of course, if the computer is not yours, you don't have to pay for the electricity, and broadband doesn't need money, then you can try it....
